      I well understand this is possible (Yoyomi) and I've zero interest in chasing that rabbit down the hole. I'd rather use my mobile app in hand than spend time on a stop-gap for which very specific context commands are needed for very limited control. Just not worth it.

        I have connected Yonomi as you say, but you need a first class degree to then work out any commands. A simple question : how do you actually get A Sonos One speaker to recognise a "hey Google" command? I haven't managed it yet. Sonos still only recognises "alexa" commands, and my Google Home "hey Google". No matter how I try and configure it. All very confusing and the pics provided don't help one bit. All Yanomi does for me after adding a schedule is to play my favourite music channel on Sonos via a click in the app.

        Yonomi, or any third party app or dev tool, isn't going to get Sonos One to respond to 'Hey Google'. All these workarounds can do is allow you to give voice commands to a product that currently has Google voice services for the purpose of controlling Sonos.

        You'll need to wait till Sonos releases Google Home integration in order to speak to Google through your Sonos One.

          Harmony just updated their Google integration. Not sure how good their Sonos integration is, but might work to control Sonos from Google Home for the impatient... No idea, really.

          OH DEAR you have just lit the disappointment fuse.
          This will explode on here, and you have missed all the black Friday & xmas sales.
          At least sonos have been honest with their loyal customers.

            This integration requires collaboration with Google. Who knows who is responsible for the delay.

            Well yeah who knows why the missed deadline.
            Maybe google will keep kicking it into the long grass for a while to max out sales period of their own speakers & voice stuff, that makes a good conspiracy theory with no blame on sonos ;);)
